Wrapped the hood, roof, and decklid in matte black. Also added the windshield banner and spoiler lettering and replaced the numbers. Removed all the "orton" logos as they failed. I tried to get the customer to do the entire car in matte black, but to no avail.



Started as:

Then to white-background numbers with a thicker font:

Looks good, I liked it with the matte black warped hood, roof, and truck.

I`ve been asked before, but the customer didn`t want to pay for a plane ticket and hotel. :nixweiss

looks awesome. Let me know if you ever come to michigan or could recommend someone up here!

996 looks like a fun day at the track, but i too would have preferred a full wrap

Just the matte black shown ran about $500 installed. Full wraps run ~$2k for solid colors with the best wrapping vinyl available.



Edit: The decklid was VERY difficult on this car because of curvature and the type of vinyl I used. It alone took me five hours ($250 right there).

Looks great Andrew.



Does the flat black vinyl waterspot? And if so, how do you clean it?

Thank you David.



Yes, it does, horribly. When we`re done, we`ll spray it down with soapy water (application fluid) and wipe it off, leaving a spot-free finish.
